"Performing for me is essential. It goes beyond just artistic expression, it's unquestionably a God given pleasure."- Olivia Swearingen
At the young age of 15, Olivia auditioned for the bus tour of American Idol in Reno, Nevada. The following year she made it through to the live auditions and was a regional finalist for American Idol's farewell season in San Francisco, CA.
Olivia has always been heavily involved in musical theatre. She has recently trained with broadway choreographers at the Institute for American Musical Theatre, as she knows that the business goes beyond just singing and acting. Broadway is demanding in the sense that it requires people to be a "triple threat", meaning the performers must be very versatile in all areas of singing, acting, and dance.
Olivia stays humble as she refines her skills and talents for the pure joy and pleasure of being a performer. There is undoubtedly hard work that goes into chasing your dreams, and Olivia knows exactly what that is all about.
"I give back all of the applause and affirmations to God, the one who blesses people with talents and passions. The glory is not my own, it's his."
